It is also known at Playboy Mansion West in deference to the original Playboy Mansion located at State Street in Chicago, Illinois. Contrary to common belief, the mansion is not located at the City of Beverly Hills. It is within the boundaries of the City of Los Angeles on Zip Code 90024.
The results of the weigh-in for the main event are as follows:
Roman Karmazin (37-3-1, 23 KO)?..159 lbs
Antwun Echols (31-9-4, 27 KO) ?163
The fight card is a co-promotion of Steve Bash Pomotions.
Karmazin?s fight with Echols is his first defense of the NABF middleweight title he won last December at the Hollywood Park Casino over Bronco McKart.
The 36 year old Karmazin who calls himself ?Made in Hell? trains at the Wildcard Gym of Freddie Roach. Roach and Michael Moore train the Russian-native who now calls Los Angeles his home.
